💜 Volunteer Notes

I met Lucy in October and she was one of my favorites to think she was failed again and now is in this situation with so many babies makes me sick to my stomach. These are the horror stories the shelter is trying to prevent and yet it happened anyways.

October 2024: I love Lucy. I'm not talking about the show I'm talking about this perfect puppers. She knows how to put on the charm that's for sure. Anyone that greets her gets the same sweet greeting where she gives a smile and looks all cute. She was easy to leash and didn't have any problem walking by any of the dogs. She played with a pup in the run and loved running back and forth. She enjoys belly rubs and playing which is the perfect package in my opinion. She knows how to relax and knows how to have fun. I saw several people have her out today and every time they brought her back she just would relax in her kennel. She's so quiet! I'm surprised no one has snatched this girl up yet.

📝 Shelter Notes:

October 2024

Approaching kennel, dog was sitting down in the front. I opened the door and she then pancaked, keeping her head low.

I placed the leash but dog remained in potion so I then slowly entered and got behind her, as I was picking her up I could hear that she was softly crying. I carried her outside the kennel and then placed her on floor. As I was petting and baby talking her, she wagged her tail and looked at me with soft eyes. As I was petting her head, she would gently close her eyes and lick her lips, and get closer to my legs. After spending a minute with her, she followed me and walked loosely with a wagging tail. She occasionally would freeze and look at me with soft eyes and a wagging tail, I had to baby talk and pet her again for her to continue walking. While outside, I squatted down again and she quickly came forward to sit next to me. While petting her outside, she got on her back with tummy up and was enjoying the belly rubs with closed eyes and a smile.

Coming back inside, she walked with a more relaxed body. After placing her in kennel, I closed the door and then started to pet her through door. She sat in placed licking her lips and closing her eyes in comfort as I petted her head. She was super and friendly towards me,

In the afternoon I was able to take her outside so she could have more outside time and adjust to the outside setting since in the morning she was a bit timid. Again, she slowly walked on the leash and needed a lot of encouragement to walk. She often pulled back but I was able to redirect her with with baby talk and pets. She ignored treats and baby talk seemed to be working better with her. When coming back inside she walked on a loose leash, still occasionally stopping. Again, responding super well to being pet, loves the attention.

dog was laying down and when i approched dog had whale eyes and as i got closer dog had lowered head down and as i opened the kennel door wider for dog to get out she pancaked and i had to carry out and carry to next kennel.

spoke to potential adopter about her delay in surgery due to URI. Was told that we had noticed that she was limping and upon looking at the radiographs on her RF there was a healing fracture. She was told that she would be going home on carprofen and doxy for her to give at home. She still wanted to move forward with the adoption.

Zane: Remains at the shelter and may be euthanized at any time before 1pm CT, 5/21.

These fur kids lost their lives:

  • Delta
  • Fluttershy
  • Hamilton
  • Penny
  • Petunia

I include the photos of the lost that they might be better remembered.

To avoid his joining them tonight, allow me to take this space to say that Kodiak ( https://www.reddit.com/r/UrgentShelterPets/comments/1ti34je/stunning_year_old_hw_alaskan_husky_mix_boy_kodiak/ ) had an adopter, but they backed out. He has a rescue interested, but they need a Houston, TX, foster by 1pm CT, 5/21/26.

I refer you once again to the case of luckless George on 5/19.

If you can help, don't waste time with me. Go straight to Save Some Souls's form and apply!

https://form.jotform.com/241251426631044

When you've submitted the form, DM me or u/BanditY77 so that we can alert SSS to the application.

Thank you.

With baby talk he scoots close to me and tries to tuck his head under my arms. He allows me to pet him but due to his timid behavior leash walk him. He just looks arounds and doesnt potty… he stays close to my legs. No issues placing him back into kennel because he walks in on his own and allows me to remove leash.

When I went to leash him he was very timid and coward away from me slamming into divider avoiding contact with me. I had to go slow and leash him and even then he still was avoiding me. Within a couple of minutes of placing into a new bigger kennel he painted in kennel and was going in circles and hitting the divider causing Gloria on opposite to stress out and not to lay on her bedding. I had to take him out and soak his kennel meanwhile having him in an empty kennel in the process. He also painted that kennel. Placing dog on beh.

Only yesterday a dog died at BARC because a rescue couldn't find a Houston, TX, foster. Don't let the same happen to poor Drake, a 4Y HW- male Austr Cattle Dog, whose adopter has backed out! Adoption to US/Canada. Don't respond to me: fill out the foster application or the adoption one in the post!

Foster application for Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary: https://form.jotform.com/msfanimalsanctuary/Fosterapplication

Adoption application for same: https://msfanimalsanctuary.org/adoption-form/

Drake is a 4Y HW- male Australian Cattle Dog mix just tagged from the BARC euthanasia list two days ago. He is one of the few from that list still alive.

Once you have completed and submitted the foster application, alert Mustard Seed to your application by e-mailing them at Msfanimalsanctuary@gmail.com or message them on FB at https://www.facebook.com/share/14hpTvwyarM/

Then message OP or u/BanditY77 so we can give them a nudge, too.

Fostering is LOVE! all expenses paid! How can you turn that down and cost Drake his life at the same time?

🆘 Final Plea Friday 5/22! STARLA A655097 is a ✨Volunteer Fave✨ who is a 4 y/o super friendly Pittie (HW-) who is happy, sweet & loving! Urgently need a loving forever home. 612 Canino Rd. Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State)

⚠️PLEA ISSUED: It is a death sentence when a plea has been issued. STARLA is to be euthanized this Friday morning before the shelter opens to the public at 1 PM. She must have a plan by Thursday 5/21 at 6 PM.

We are very worried for STARLA’s safety. She has no idea what horror awaits here if no one chooses her quickly.

Will anyone even notice STARLA and give her a chance to be cared for and loved before it is too late to save her! STARLA prefers to be treated like the queen she is and not share your love and affection. She is young, happy, friendly, and deserves so much more than a shelter ending her life!
